Lena does come off as kind of oblivious, especially her writing about her travels to Japan and India, but not mean-spirited.

And she's 27 now.

It seems that she's only writing what she knows, which as a white 20 something with well-to-do parents, it shouldn't surprise anyone that her circles are mostly white.

yah, i don't know much about her, but from watching the shows she's not racist. people are just too sensitive. she is being "standup" like.

Agreed.

But there seems to be something a bit more sinister in the many of the attacks against Lena Dunham. And I don't know if it's because she's being especially provocative or if it's because she's a young woman. I have a feeling it's the latter.

Its mainly because she is a young woman and a successful one.

Also, she isn't classically attractive. Which seems to piss people off for some reason.
